Communism is the past. The USSR? An empire dusty antiques shop relegated to the history. A
system of domination archaic compared to capitalism in its phase gleaming high-tech and
neoliberalism. And Russia today, then? In the ruins of the empire deceased, the return of
a new form of autocracy personified by Putin and his minions, it illustrate the historical
inevitability of a country culturally doomed to suffer all authoritarian regimes. Bet that
we would do in this case is exactly the opposite: Russia, are struggles with this, and
they are also novel forms of domination that are experienced from 1917 to our days of
"real socialism" in era of Yeltsin and Putin, before spreading to the rest of the world.
The liquidation of the peasantry, forced industrialization, the destruction of natural
habitats, the bureaucratization of all social relations ... but also more generally the
crushing of workers, women and minorities, the rule in politics of lies and brutal
cynicism: these are phenomena that affect today all countries of the world. In Russia, red
hopes communist past was believed to be the black affliction among the waves of
privatizations, the return of colonial wars and the rise of the extreme right. But this
black one, now is perhaps the revolt. Not to mention the persistence of a combative and
courageous anarchist movement, the events of recent years have shown a return to the
political scene of anti-fascist groups, feminist and radical environmentalists - when it
is not Citizen anonymous out of the mass to say no. These are the people, and beyond them
all the Russian people, who need our support. Gold support is to first understand: what
happened to Russia, what is happening now, and how it echoes our own experience.

======================================
* Libertarian and Social offensive was born in the year 2003 will participate in the
construction of a real offensive that put an end to capitalism, patriarchy and contributes
to the development of other future reports without domination or exploitation. We advocate
for a society based on solidarity, social equality and freedom. Several principles
underlie OLS:

Independence Act in a manner free from any institutional logic tied to the state or capital.

Federalism and individual groups that make up the es-OLS are autonomous, they combine
freely while respecting the foundations and values ââof the OLS.

Anti-authoritarianism Combat all forms of domination whether social, gender, 'race' ... We
also reject the logic of conquest of power that the implementation of cons-institutional
powers to fight against the hierarchical practices.

Out Through our intervention policies and practices, we want to ask at the end of today's
society. We want to promote the existence of alternative social relations and helping to
develop space and time emancipated and subversive. We therefore take part in the emergence
of creative utopia.

Mutual support and promote research contribution of solidarity between subversion
projects, according to the principles of freedom of association and experimentation, to
act in accordance with the partners ... We want to work for a world where well-being and
happiness are among the first concerns.

The OLS is as an element in the constellation libertarian, making its contribution to the
revolutionary movement. The organization is not an end in itself and should not take
precedence over the struggle and reflection.

We refuse to engage in terms of our own interests organizational "pass" a fight to another
as modes. Even if we appear from time to time as "OLS" - through Offensive newspaper we
publish at some political events - to confront, defend or share our values, our ideas, our
practices, we do not the logical representation. In a society based on appearances, the
revolutionary movement must not succumb to the lure of spectacle.

We fight especially against everything that makes us human beings alienated and / or
oppressors : social exploitation, economic insecurity, patriarchy, heterosexism,
technological tyranny, racism, massification. Faced with the logic of confinement and
stupidity, we offer other forms of emancipatory associations where the return engagement
between theory and practice are ongoing and we can build stable relationships, not
alienating, esteem and cooperation.

We want to build a truly democratic society, if we define democracy as a form of
organization of power to know and control our conditions. It is important to think of new
social organizations that allow sharing of debates and decisions. This amounts to breaking
the power of autonomy. It should not be outside of the company, but in his breast must be
socialized.

If the parentage of OLS is part of the long history of anarchism, we refer also to other
associations and movements. We are trying our level contribute to the renewal of the
critical libertarian, participate in the creation and dissemination of alternative
anti-authoritarian and liberating.
